How Strange Is Man—He Ruins His Present While Worrying About His Future — But Weeps In The Future By Recalling His Past:

Firmly Believe in your heart that — What Allah will happen and what He does not will not happen.

The one who seeks happiness and success in this world has to have a balanced approach without letting the one outweigh the other. In this manner, he can strengthen his heart with Faith and Find peace of mind in doing that which he is required to do.

Always put your Trust in Allah in all your affairs, and know that this Trust (Tawakkul) will ward off the whispers of the Shaytaan and put an end to them.

Once you have resolved to do that, then do not look back. If you feel that these whispers are overwhelming you again, then turn to Allah and seek refuge in Him.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaytaan (Satan), then seek refuge with Allah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower”.(Al-A’raaf 7:200)

Lift your head high and look Forward — Start your daily life with Steadfastness and Certainty, and approach all your actions with energy and peace of mind. How many good things there are in this world that fill hearts with contentment and tranquillity and fill the heart with hope and certain Faith?

Thoughts about the Future — disturb our peace of mind. For example — if we are concerned about our employment or the Future of our children — Are we their breadwinners and carers? No way, Allah is the Creator and Sustainer of everything, so instead of worrying about the Future, put your Trust in Allah.

Praise be to Allah Who has guaranteed provision for everyone. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And no moving (living) creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allaah. And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit (in the uterus or grave). All is in a Clear Book (Al‑Lawh Al‑Mahfooz — the Book of Decrees with Allah)”

(Surah Hood 11:6)

So Thinking in and of itself is not a problem, rather it is required, important and essential, and it is enjoined by our religion and encouraged by our Qur’aan — But “Thinking” may become a psychological or social problem if it prevents a person from playing his natural role that is expected of him in life.

Such as Thinking that things are more serious than they really are, or thinking too much about matters where thinking about them will not change anything at all — rather that only causes distress and becomes an obstacle that prevents one From taking any initiative and makes him hesitant and confused and unable to take any decision.

Thinking may become a problem in Shar’i terms if it makes a person go beyond his intellectual limits in Thinking about matters of the unseen and things that he can never comprehend — which may open many doors for the accursed Shaytaan to influence him.

Matters which lay ahead in the Future. It is more appropriate not to Think about these a great deal before they happen — because the Future is part of the unseen and all that we have to do in this case is to examine the choices we have in this matter if it comes to pass. When the time comes — we have to put our Trust in Allah and make a decision.

We Ask Allah (Swt) To Guide Us To Good Deeds And Positive Thinking. (Ameen).

JazakAllah (May Allah reward you [with] goodness)for reading.
